PREFACE. 



In offering their new Guide to the public, the publishers 
desire to call especial attention to the following features : 

(r.) The Descriptions of all Points of Interest in the 
City and Vicinity are presented in terse, clear, and ac- 
curate form; they are arranged alphabetically and fully 
indexed, so as to afford easy reference. 

(2.) The Appendices contain Full Lists and Interesting 
Statistics concerning the National and Municipal Govern- 
ments, and the Various Local Organizations — Religious, 
Charitable, Educational, Mercantile, Social, etc. 

(3.) The Select classified Lists of Trades- and Profes- 
sions together with the Business Cards, at the end of the 
book, represent the Principal Firms of the city. Intro- 
duced in a novel and attractive manner, this Department 
will be found to be one of the most useful and interesting 
in the book. 

(4.) The Colored Map which accompanies the Guide 

contains an ingenious Tape Attachment by which even a 

stranger can locate, instantly, all points of interest and the 

leading business houses mentioned in the Guide. This is 

by far the best patent map ever produced, and, to' every 

resident of Washington, is alone worth many times the 

price of the Guide.

STANDARD GUIDE OF WASHINGTON. 



As may be scon from inspection, the Guide and Map 
serve as a Pocket Directory, which will prove as indis- 
pensable to visitors and in the homes of citizens as the 
Large Directory is to Merchants. 

Having spared neither time nor expense to make their 
publication worthy of the title which it bears — " Standard 
Guide," of the National Capital — the publishers are justified 
in believing that the work will be cordially received and 
merit a wide sale at the hands of the public.

INSTRUCTIONS 

For finding on Map any place mentioned in the Guide. 



Places in this guide are alphabetically arranged with 
figures attached, one in the column for margin, the other 
in the column for tape. To find, for instance, the loca- 
tion of Lincoln Park, margin 51, tape 30, place the tape 
on the corresponding marginal number on the map, and 
read the other number corresponding on the tape, and 
Lincoln Park will be found on the map and under the 
number of the tape. Or to find Water street, 19-56, as 
before, place the tape on the marginal nimiber designated, 
and under the corresponding number on the tape is the 
name of the street printed on the map, the location of 
which is desired. 

The tape is divided into numbered sections, each of 
which scales 880 feet ; also divided into miles and fractions 
thereof. 

To find the distance from one point to another place the 
tape conveniently at either point, and lay it along the 
route desired to be measured, turn it in corners if necessary, 
and when the other point is reached read off the number 
of sections and compute them, 5,280 feet to the mile, or 
read off the corresponding mile measure. For instance, 
the distance is wanted from the Schuetzen Park, 20-36, to 
the President's Mansion, 46-46, along Seventh street and 
Pennsylvania avenue, place the divided end of the tape on 
Seventh street on the map and at the Schuetzen Park until 
it reaches the corner of Pennsylvania avenue, there turn it 
and run it along said avenue until you get to the President's 
Mansion, there read off the number of sections, and the 
distance is thus in eitlier case found to be four miles. 



INSTRUCTIONS. 



The city is divided in four quarters — east and west by 
the line of North and South Capitol streets extended, and 
north and south by the line of East Capitol street extended, 
these lines crossing in the center of the Capitol building, 
which is plainly illustrated by the coloring of the map, and 
hence the appellation of northwest, southeast, &c., to 
streets, thereby designating the particular quarter in which 
the street is located. 

All streets running north and south are called by num- 
bers ; east or west from North and South Capitol streets. 

All streets running east and west are called by letters of 
the alphabet in similar manner counted from the line of 
the East Capitol street extended. 

The decimal system of house numbering is used, allow- 
ing one hundred numbers for each square. 

Avenues named after States in the Union run diagonally 
from different centers, generally converging towards the 
Capitol Building or the President's Mansion.

SKETCH OF THE CITY AND DISTRICT. 

The act locating the Capitol of the United States on the 
banks of the Potomac was passed by Congress at New York, 
in 1790. The land for the proposed District of ten miles 
square was ceded to the government by the States of Mary- 
land and Virginia. The exact site for the Capital was 
decided on by George Washington, with the aid of three 
Commissioners. The name of it was chosen by the latter, 
and the plat of the city was made by Major L' Enfant, a 
French engineer. The government made very advanta- 
geous terms with the farmers who owned the land where 
the city now stands. Congress, which had meantime 
been sitting at Philadelphia, removed to its new home in 
1800. 

The growth of the city was at first very slow. The 
government was by a Mayor, Aldermen, and Councilmen. 
Up to the outbreak of the civil war the Capital seemed to be 
a failure. It was unattractive in appearance and the citizens 
were devoid of enterprise. Congress had long ceased to 
appropriate money for its improvement. There was talk 
of removing the Capital farther west — to the centre of the 
continent — but the war revived its waning fortunes. There 
was a sudden increase of activity and a vast influx of men 
and money. During these momentous years the population 
of the capital averaged a quarter of a million of inhabitants. 

Afterwards, however, it was threatened with the same old 
stagnation. The old local government made an effort to 
inaugurate a comprehensive system of improvements, but 
were found to be incompetent. In 187 1 Congress, by the 
advice of prominent citizens, devised a new form of gov- 
ernment, consisting of a Governor, Legislative Assembly, 
and Board of Public Works. 

The latter body at once undertook the thorough recon- 
struction and renovation of the city upon a grand scale. 

They undoubtedly laid the foundation for its future un-

l)rccedented growth and present advantages of Washington 
as a residence city, though at the same time they recklessly 
plunged the city into a huge debt, of more than $20,000,000 
which is heavier than it can bear without the aid of Con- 
gress. There is the more justice in Congress paying this 
debt, or a large portion of it, as the obligations were in- 
curred mainly because of its presence and through officers 
of its appointment. 

In 1S74, owing to the high-handed methods of the pre- 
vailing local administration, called, from its leading 
spirit and highest officer, "The Shepherd Regime," Con- 
gress decided to abolish the whole system of local suffrage, 
and since then the District of Columbia has been governed 
by a board of three Commissioners appointed by the Presi- 
dent and confirmed by the Senate of the United States. 

Tlie people have no votes whatsoever, not even in Presi- 
dential elections. This is certainly an anomalous state 
of affairs to find at the capital of the leading Republic of 
the world. The system undoubtedly has some advantages, 
and Congress now pays half of the taxes for the city and 
District; but it is recalled that the measure was originally, 
a compromise, devised when Congress was greatly puzzled 
and embarrassed over the large deficits and great confiision 
in the municipal finances ; and, judging from this fact and 
the complaints which from time to time arise from citizens 
at being taxed for expenditures which they have no share 
in making, it is doubtful if the present form of government 
in vogue here will continue without being changed or es- 
sentially modified. 

Tlie population of Washington is about two hundred 
thousand inhabitants, nearly one-third of whom are colored 
persons. During the past decade it has grown faster than 
any other city in the United States. In general, its mag- 
nificent street area is well paved ; its sewerage system is 
almost perfect and its water sujjply is one of the best in 
the world.

AGRICULTURAL DEP'T. M. 56. T. 44. 

The Department of Agriculture is located about midway 
between the Smithsonian Institution and the Washington 
Monument. It was created by Congress in 1862, for the 
purpose of promoting agricultural knowledge and distribut- 
ing seeds among the people. Over a million packages are 
sent out annually. The main building is devoted to offices. 
An Herbarium and Taxidermist's Work-shops 
occupy the second floor. The Museumi of Agriculture 
and Industrial Exposition will be found in the frame 
annex. 

The Conservatory is west of the main building. It 
contains tropical plants and fruits and a grapery in the 
south wing. 

The grounds surrounding the Department are beautifully 
laid out in terraces, flower-beds, and plant-houses. 

The Museum and Conservatories are open till 4 p. m., 
Saturdays till 3 p. m. {See List of Illustrations.) 

ALEXANDRIA. 

On the right bank of the Potomac, about seven miles 
below Washington ; is reached by railroad from the Balti- 
more and Potomac depot and by ferry-boats which run 
every hour in the day; horse-cars on 7th street connect 
with the ferry. Alexandria was for many years included 
in the District of Columbia, but has since been ceded back 
again by the United States to the State of Virginia. It is 
now devoid of the commercial activity which once charac- 
terized it.

ANALOSTAN ISLAND. M. 46. T. 56. 

Opposite Cicorgctown ; about 70 acres, not under culti- 
vation; a resort for pleasure excursions. 

AQUEDUCT. M. 5. T. 57. 

The aqueduct which supplies the city with water is led to 
its destination bya series of tunnels and magnificent bridges, 
the largest of which, called the Cabin-John Bridge, 
is considered one of the most successful engineering feats 
in the world. The material is granite blocks, formed into 
a single arch, with a span of 220 feet (making it the largest 
stone bridge in the world); cost $237,000; first projected 
in 1853; distance from the city, about 12 miles. 

ARLINGTON. M. 82. T. 55. 

On the right bank of the Potomac, about four miles from 
the Cai)itol stands the fine mansion which was at one time 
the home of General Robert E. Lee. It was purchased 
by the United States Government in 1864. The drive to 
it, through Georgetown, is a pleasant one. 

THE NATIONAL CEMETERY 

embraces about two hundred acres of the old Custis 
estate on Arlington Heights. The grounds were first for- 
mally opened for a soldiers' cemetery by the Government 
in 1867. 16,000 soldiers are buried here, both Union 
and Confederate. A portion of the cemetery is reserved 
for colored troops. Near Arlington House is a granite 
sarcophagus erected over the bones of 2,111 unknown 
soldiers, who perished at lUill Run and on other battle 
fields and in hospitals. JJy this tomb is a great amphi-

theater, capable of accommodating the large audience at 
the memorial exercises which are held here annually in 
honor of the heroes of the war. {See List of Illustrations?) 

ARMY MEDICAL MUSEUM. M. 46. T. 42. 

Stands on loth street west, midway between E and F 
streets, north. The Museum on the third floor of the 
building is very complete. It contains (i) a surgical sec- 
tion (illustrating injuries received from missiles in war, and 
their treatment) ; (2) medical section (illustrating camp 
diseases) ; (3) microscopical section (illustrating diseased 
tissues and organs) ; (4) anatomical section (illustrating 
human anatomy); (5) section of comparative anatomy 
(illustrating skeletons of American mammals, birds, and 
fishes) ; (6) miscellaneous section (illustrating hospital and 
barracks life.) 

On the first, second, and third floors are offices of the 
Surgeon-General and subordinates and the hospital 
records of the Civil War and those received from pres- 
ent posts of the regular army. A laboratory is con- 
nected with the establishment. 

The building has a peculiar interest from the fact that it 
was the scene of President Lincoln's assassination 
by Wilkes Booth, April 14th, 1865. It was then Ford's 
Theater. After the tragedy it was closed by the Govern- 
ment, and in 1866 devoted to the purpose for which' it is 
now used. Lincoln died in a house opposite the Museum. 
The hours for visitors are from 9 a. m. to 3 p. m. 

The new building being erected by the Government in 
the grounds of the Smithsonian Institution will be ready 
for occupancy at an early date and will be admirably ar- 
ranged to contain the collections and library described 
above. {See List of Illustrations?) 

ARSENAL: U. S. BARRACKS. M. 71. T. 35. 

These grounds are located at the foot of 4^ street S.W., 
and may be reached by horse-cars. There are quarters for

five batteries. The garrison drills daily ; the store-houses 
contain ammunition and arms. Specimens of guns and 
mortars now in service may be seen ; also some of those 
captured in various wars. The hours for visitors are from 
sunrise to sunset. 

BOTANICAL GARDEN. M. 52. T. 38. 

The Government Botanical Gardens are bounded by ist 
and 3d streets west and Pennsylvania and Maryland ave- 
nues. The main entrance is opposite the center of the west 
side of the Capitol grounds. The gardens are open to 
visitors from 9 a. m. to 6 p. m. Carriages are not per- 
mitted to enter the grounds. The collection of shrubs and 
flowers contain specimens from many climes. 

The Conservatory is filled with varieties of palms and 
other tropical plants, including trees from Japan, China, 
and Kgypt. The smaller conservatories are devoted 
to rare flowers and vines, the ore bids being especially com- 
l)lete and beautiful. 

North of the Conservatory is the Bartholdi fountain, 
from the Centennial Exposition, supi)lied from the atpie- 
duct, and throwing a stream of water over sixty feet. It 
can be illuminated by electricity, and is used at its full 
capacity on national holidays. (^See List of Illustrations.^ 

The object of Congress in keeping the garden is mainly 
the distribution of plants and seeds. Each member of 
Congress has at his disposal a specified number of them. 
The collection was first begun over forty years ago. 

BUREAU OF EDUCATION. M. 44. T. 41. 

The building rented for this bureau stands on the corner 
of G and 8th streets N. W., opposite the Patent Office. 
The several floors are occupied by offices, a library, and 
a room for exhibiting educational apparatus. Visitors 
are received at the usual hours.

M. 58. T. 44. 
The Bureau of Engraving and Printing stands on the 
corner of B and 14th streets S. W. It is open to visitors 
from 9 a. m. to 2 p. m. on Saturdays only. Here a 
very interesting view may be had of every detail in the pro- 
cess of engraving and printing Government bonds, notes, 
and stamps. {See List of Illustrations.) 

CAPITOL. M. 52. T. 36. 

The Capitol of the United States is situated on Capitol 
Hill, about the center of the city of Washington. It fronts 
east. Strangers generally enter from the west front, as the 
principal part of the city is in that direction. 

DIMENSIONS. 

The Capitol is 751 feet in length and 324 feet at its 
greatest breadth. It covers an area of three and one-half 
acres. The central portion of the building is built of 
yellow sandstone, painted white, from Aquia Creek, Va. 
The. wings are built of white marble from Lee, Mass. 
The dome is built of iron and is 287 feet in height (above 
the base line of the east front). It is surmounted by a 
bronze statue of Freedom, 19 feet in height, modeled by 
the celebrated American artist Crawford. The dome is 
reached by a stair-case of 290 steps, and from the top 
may be had a beautiful and very extensive view. 

EXTERIOR. 

The north and south fronts of the Capitol are alike. The 
west front of the Capitol consists of three ornamental por- 
ticoes. The eastern and most ornamental front contains 
a central portico 160 feet wide and two corresponding 
porticoes 142 feet wide. The sandstone group on the 
tympanum of the pediment of the central portico represents 
"The Genius of America." On the southern abutment 



24 STANDAKD GUIDE OF WASHINGTON. 

of this portico is a grouj) representing the " Discovery of 
America." The corresponding group on the northern 
abutment represepts " Civilization of America." The 
bronze doors at the top of the steps leading to the central 
entrance to this front are ornamented with scenes from the 
discoveries of Columbus, and weigh with their casings over 
twenty thousand pounds. Statues representing "Peace" 
and " War " fill the niches to the north and south of these 
doors respectively. Directly over the door is a basso-relievo 
representing "Fame" and "Peace" crowning Wasnington 
with a laurel wreath. 

THE ROTUNDA. 

The Rotunda is 95 feet in diameter and 180 feet high (to 
the to]) of the canoi)y). The fresco on the canopy, by 
Urumidi, an Italian artist, represents the Deification of 
Washington ; the Fall of Tyranny ; Agriculture; Mechanics; 
Commerce; Marine Power, and Arts and Sciences. The 
frieze of the Rotunda is decorated with scenes from Ameri- 
can history. The sides of the room are divided into eight 
panels. Over the panels are busts of Columbus, Raleigh, 
Cabot, and La Salle (in order named, beginning on the 
left of the west door). 

Over each of the four doors leading from the Rotunda 
are alto-relievos representing, (i) The Landing of the 
Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock; (2) William Penn's Treaty 
with the Indians in 1686 ; (3) The Preservation of Captain 
John Smith by Pocahontas; (4) Conflict between Daniel 
Boone and the Indians. The large pictures which occupy 
the eight panels are on the following subjects: (i) Decla- 
ration of Independence; (2) Surrender of Burgoyne ; (3) 
Surrender of Cornwallis ; (4) Resignation of General 
Washington; (5) Baptism of Pocahontas: (6) Discovery 
of the Mississippi River; (7) Landing of Columbus; (8) 
Embarkation of the Pilgrims, 



PLACES OF INTEREST. 25 

LIBRARY OF COJi^GRESS. 

The Library of Congress is at the end of the hallway 
which leads from the west door of the Rotunda. It is used 
by the Senators and members of the House of Representa- 
tives, Judges of the Supreme Court, and heads of Depart- 
ments, as well as by the general public. All persons are 
permitted to consult books in the library. The collection 
contains over half a million books and nearly a quarter 
of a million pamphlets. It is the largest collection of books 
in the United States and one of the largest collections 
in the world. It is increased at the rate of about twenty 
thousand volumes annually. The Librarian of Congress 
is registrar of all copyrights issued in the United States. 

A new Library building will soon be erected on one of 
the squares east of the Capitol. {See List of Illustrations.') 

SUPREME COURT. 

At the right of the vestibule leading from the north door 
of the Rotunda is the Supreme Court of the United 
States. This room was for many years the United States 
Senate Chamber, where so many famous speeches were 
delivered. The busts on the walls are of former Chief 
Justices. The court meets annually in October, and usu- 
ally continues to sit until May, with occasional adjourn- 
ments. The public are admitted whenever the court is in 
session. 

SENATE. 

At the end of this same hallway is the present United 
States Senate Chamber. The main door at the eastern 
corridor is a massive paneled piece of bronze representing 
scenes in the American Revolution, by Crawford. 

RECEPTIOJf ROOM. 

The Senate Reception Room, at the right of this door,

office of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate. 

The west door of the Reception Room leads to the Lobby 
of the Senate, which is accessible to visitors when the 
Senate is not in session. At the right of the Lobby is 
the Vice-President's Room. Next is the celebrated 
Marble Room, with sides and floors of polished marble 
of different tints. Here Senators receive guests by ap- 
pointment. 

GALLERIES. 

At foot of the stairs leading to the east gallery of 
the Senate is the statue of Franklin by Powers, and over 
the first landing is Powell's noted picture of Commodore 
Perry's victory over the British on Lake Erie. The east 
gallery of the Senate is the Ladies' Gallery ; the ^vest 
is the Gentlemen's Gallery ; the central portion of 
the north gallery is for the newspaper reporters ; 
opposite this is the Diplomatic Gallery, for foreign 
representatives. The Ladies' Retiring- Room adjoins 
the Ladies' Gallery on the north side. The two large 
paintings in the vestibule of the" Ladies' Gallery — "The 
Grand Cafion of the Yellowstone" and "The Grand 
Cailon of the Colorado" — are by Thomas Moran, an 
American artist. 

PRESIDENT'S ROOM. 

On the right of the west vestibule is the President's 
Room, where he sometimes remains to sign bills in the 
last hours of a session of Congress. This room is hand- 
somely frescoed with symbolical designs and adorned with 
portraits of American statesmen. At the foot of the 
staircase leading to the west gallery is a statue of 
John Hancock, by Stone. " The Storming of Chapul- 
tepec under General Scott," which hangs over the first 
landing, is by the artist Walker.

SENATE CHAMBER. . 

The Senate Chamber is a well-proportioned room one 
hundred and twelve feet in length. The desks of the 
Senators are of polished mahogany. Some of them were 
used in the old Senate Chamber. The paintings on the 
skylight represent The Union, The Army, The Navy, etc. 
Under the east, west, and south galleries are cloak-rooms 
for the Senators. On this floor and the floors above and 
below are various committee rooms. The Senate Chamber 
is heated and ventilated through great registers connected 
with machinery in the basement. 

The Vice-President presides over the sessions of this 
body on a dais at the north end of the chamber. The public 
are admitted to the floor when the Senate is not in session. 
They are admitted at all times to the galleries, excepting 
when the Senate is in executive session. 

BASEMENT OF SENATE. 

In the basement of the Senate wing are, besides the 
Committee Rooms (which may be visited on permis- 
sion from Senators), the Restaurant, folding rooms, and 
the official telegraph and telephone office — connect- 
ing with the various Departments of the Government and 
the Government Printing Office. 

THE CKYPT. 

Beneath the Rotunda, extending toward the Senate, is 
The Crypt, and under this is the Undercroft — offered 
for keeping the remains of George Washington, but refused 
by his family. 

LAW LIBRARY. 

Underneath the court-room is the Law Department 
of the Congressional Library, one of the finest tech- 
nical libraries in the United States. This room was for- 
merly occupied by the Supreme Court.

STATl'AHY HALL. 

Tlic next room south of the Rotuiula is the old hall of 
the House of Representatives. It is now used as 
a Hall of Statuary, Congress having devoted it to this 
liur|)ose '' in order that each State should send the eftigies 
of two of lier chosen sons to be placed liere permanently." 
Rhode Ishmd has sent Roger Williams, " the Apostle of 
Religious Liberty," and Nathaniel Oreen, Major General 
ill the Army of the Revolution ; Connecticut, Jonathan 
'i'rumbull, the last Colonial Governor of the State, an 
intimate friend of Washington, and Roger Sherman, dele- 
gate to Congress and one of the signers of the Declaration 
of Independence ; New York, George Clinton. Vice-Pres- 
ident of the United States, and Robert Livingston, a signer 
of the Declaration of Independence ; Massachusetts, John 
Winthrop and Samuel Adams; Vermont, Ethan Allen, the 
hero of Ticonderoga, and Jacob Collamer, an early Post- 
nuister General and United States Senator ; Maine, Wil- 
liam King, her first Governor; Pennsylvania, Robert 
Fulton, inventor of steam navigation, and Peter Miihlen- 
burgh, a "fighting minister" (General) in the Revolutionary 
\Var. 

Besides these statues the Government is represented by 
the following works of art : 

Miss Ream's statue of Abraham Lincoln, for which 
C'ongress paid ten thousand dollars ; bust of Lincoln ; 
bust of Thomas Crawford; statue of Alexander Hamilton; 
bronze statue of Thomas Jefferson ; cast of Washington ; 
bust of Kosciusko; portraits of George Washington, 
Thomas Jefferson, Charles Carroll, Henry Clay, Gunning 
Bedford, Benjamin West, and Joshua R. Giddings, and 
mosaics of Lincoln and Garfield. The graceful marble

HALL OF KKPI{i:SI]NTATIVES. 

The Hall of Representatives, which stands at the 
opposite end of the building from the Senate Chamber, is 



PLACES or INTEREST. 29 

the largest legislative hall in the world, being 
140 feet in length, 95 feet in width, and 40 feet high. 
There are desks for ^^^ members. The Republican 
members sit at the left of the Speaker, and the 
Democrats in the right half of the hall. The 
galleries will contain about 1,500 persons. The ceiling of 
the hall is of iron, with glass panels decorated with the 
arms of the different States. The Speaker's chair and 
desk are in the middle of the south side of the^ hall, 
behind the clerk's desk. On the right and left of this 
desk respectively are life-size portraits of Washington and 
Lafayette. In the panel next to the portrait of Lafayette

work was begun in 1871 . and has since been much extended 
and develoi)ed. In tlic Instrument Room, on tlie fourth 
story, may be seen the apparatus for making the observa- 
tions. The hours arc from 12 m. to 3 j). m. 

SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION. M. 55. T. 42. 

The Smithsonian Institution stands in a park of 20 acres, 
southof Pennsylvania avenue, between 7th and 12th streets. 
The building is of red sandstone and the arcliitecture is 
the style usually called Romanesque. The work was com- 
pleted in 1856, at a cost of nearly half a million dollars. 
This sum was bequeathed to the United States Government 
by James Smithson, an English gentleman and a scientist, 
"to found an establishment for the increase and diffusion 
of knowledge among men." 

The object of the Institution, as now defined, is for 
scientific research and jiublication. The current expenses 
are defrayed by income from the donation. The Regents or 
governing board are appointed by Congress. In thegrounds 
are a statue of Professor Joseph Henry, first Secre- 
tary of the Institution, and a memorial vase in honor 
of Andrew Downing, the landscape gardener who first 
improved this park. It has lately been cared for by Con- 
gress, and is planted with many varieties of American trees 
and shrubs. The building is open daily from 9 a. m. to 
4 p. ni., except Sundays. {See List <>/ ///i/s/rations.) 

SOCIAL CUSTOMS. 

The etiipiette of Wasliington is not so intricate as it is 
often supposed to be by strangers. Nevertheless there are 
a few social observancies prevalent here which it will be 
well for visitors to understand and to follow. 

TITLES. 

The following lilies should be used in conversation with 
those who bear ihem : " Mr. President " (to the President 



PLACES OP INTEREST. 47 

of the United States); ''Mr. Vice-President" (to the 
Vice-President of the United States); " Mr, Secretary " 
(to any of the members of his Cabinet) ; " Mr. Chief Jus- 
tice " (to the Chief Justice of the United States) ; " Mr. 
Justice " (to the other members of the Supreme Court) ; 
" Mr. Speaker " (to the Speaker of the House of Represen- 
tative) ; " Senator " (to Senators of the United States) ; 
"Mr." (to members of the House of Representatives); 
their regular titles to officers of the army or navy. 

in addressing letters or communications to the above 
their full title should be used, all members of Congress of 
course being "Honorable." It is customary in formal 
letters for the wives to receive the titles of their husbands 

on their letters, as "Mrs. Secretary of the ," " The 

Hon. Mrs. ," etc., though this rule is not invariable. 

RECEPTIO:^S, ETC. 

Most of the social entertainments at the Capital occur 
between New Years and Lent. The most notable are the 
public receptions held at the White House and the residences 
of the members of -the President's Cabinet and of the various 
Senators and Representatives. The dates for holding them 
are announced in the newspapers soon after the opening of 
Congress, (on the first Monday in December of each year.) 
The hours fof the receptions are usually from 2 until 5 in 
the afternoon and from 8 until 1 1 in the evening. The 
afternoon receptions are open to the public, and the even- 
ing are by card, unless announcement to the contrary is 
made. The dress appropriate to these occasions is the same 
as would be worn elsewhere at corresponding hours. It is 
not necessary to send acceptances to the evening receptions. 
Cards should be handed to the usher at the afternoon re- 
ceptions. 

CAI.LIXG. 

The hours for general calling during the season are from 
3 until 6 p. m. Evening calls have gone out of style in 



48 STANDARD GUIDE OF WASHIN(JTOX. 

Washington recently, excepting between intimate friends. 
The President and mistress of the White House do not return 
calls. The wives of Secretaries, Judges, Senators, and Rep- 
resentatives return the visits of their acquaintances when 
called upon first. The ladies of Judges of the Supreme 
Court usually receive on Mondays ; members of the Cab- 
inet on Wednesdays; Senators on Thursdays and Rep- 
resentatives on Tuesdays. 

The President receives visitors daily at half-past one 
o'clock, excepting on Cabinet days (which are Tues- 
days and Thursdays) Saturday and Sunday. Persons are 
received at other hours by appointment by sending in their 
cards. Only intimate friends are received at the White 
House socially in the evening. 

These hours are subject to slight change according to 
the season of the year. Special reception days are 
selected for different sections of the city and aie an- 
nounced by the press at the beginning of the season. 

SOLDIERS' HOME. M. 22. T. 34. 

The drive to this place is the favorite one in the vicinity 
of Washington. The park comprises about 500 acres, 
finely situated, 4 miles to the northward of the city, and 
carefully laid out in lawns, gardens, and pathways. The 
group of houses include a Dormitory, Hospital, Chapel, 
and residences for the Governor and Surgeon. 

Several Presidents of the United States have occupied 
one of the cottages here in summer. On the brow of the 
hill, commanding a fine view of the Capitol, is a bronze 
statue of General Scott, through whose efforts the home 
was founded shortly after the close of the Mexican War. 
The sum donated by Congress has since been increased 
by levying a small monthly tax on each soldier in the 
regular army. Disabled private soldiers in the army are 
cared for at the home, free of charge. The grounds are 



PLACES OF INTEREST. 49 

open every day. Horse-cars which approach nearest are 
the 7th-street line and continuation. (See List of Illus- 
trations. ) 

STATE DEP'T BUILDING. M. 46. T. 47. 

This, the largest public department building in Washing- 
ton, stands west of the White House, fronting Pennsyl- 
vania avenue. The dimensions, including steps, are 567 
feet X 342 feet. The design was made by Mullett, super- 
vising architect of the Treasury, and is suggestive of the 
Roman Doric style of architecture. The material is granite 
from Maine and Virginia. The building was begun in 1871 
and has cost over ^5,000,000. The south wing is occu- 
pied by the Department of State, the north wing by 
the ^A^a^ Department, and the east wing by the Navy 
Department. All the offices are substantially and many 
of them are elegantly furnished. The Diplomatic Reception 
Room is a particularly sumptuous apartment. The Library 
in the third story of the State Department is very com- 
plete and valuable, relating principally to the diplomatic 
history of the United States. Here is preserved also the 
original Declaration of Independence, and other Revolu- 
tionary documents. Open to the public daily between 
9:30 and 2:30, excepting Thursdays and Saturdays (dur- 
ing sessions of Congress.) (See List of Illustrations.) 

THOMAS STATUE M. 2,^. T. 44. 

At the intersection of Massachusetts avenue and 14th 
street N. W., was designed by the sculptor Ward, and 
erected to the memory of Gen. George H. Thomas by the 
Society of the Army of the Cumberland in 1879. Cost, 
$5 o, 000. {See List of Illustrations. ) 

TREASURY DEPARTMENT. M. 46. T 45. 
The United States Treasury Department stands on 15th 
(3) 



50 sTANi)AKi> crini; ok Washington. 



street, a few rods east of the White House. It contains 

nearly two hundred rooms or offices. 

Tlie following arc those of most interest to visitors: 
Cash Room, opposite the north entrance, with floor and 
walls of rare marble ; The Vaults, buill of steel and iron, 
in which the gold is kept — in the northeast section of the 
building (about j^ 10,000,000 is usually kept here at one 
time); the Secret Service Bureau, showing counter- 
feiters' iin[)lements and ])hotographs of the criminals; 
Office of the Secretary of the Treasury, a handsome 
aiiartment on the second floor, south corridor. 

The rooms of the Supervising Architect of the 
Treasury are in the basement and contain plans of the 
principal buildings erected by the Government. The 
Redemption Division, for canceling, by marhinery, 
money unfit for circulation, is in the north corridor of the 
same floor. Counting the currency, by lady clerks, may 
be watched through the doorways of the west corridor, 
north end. 

The Treasury Building cost nearly seven millions of 
dollars. The portion fronting on 15th street stands on 
the site of the old Treasury Building, which was burned 
in 1833. The granite of which it is built was brought 
from Maine. The design of the building is of Greek 
(Ionic) architecture. The Treasury Department may be 
visited daily from 9 a. m. to 2 p. m. (Sec List of Illus- 
trations. ) 

WAR DEPARTMENT. M. 45. T. 47. 

(Fcjr description of tiie building see State Department.) 
The Headquarters of the Army are on the first floor, 
east of the main entrance. In this room is a collection of 
portraits of distinguished American generals, battle scenes, 
and sketches of border life. The Apartments of the 
Secretary of War, second floor, north corridor, contain 



PLACES OF INTEREST. 51 

some fine specimens of tile work. On the third floor is a 
military library. Hours for visitors, daily, between 9 a. m. 
and 2 p. m. (^See List of Illustrations.') 

WASHINGTON MONUMENT. M. 56. T. 45. 

This structure may be most conveniently approached 
from Pennsylvania avenue where it turns at the Treasury, 
thence by 15th or 17th streets. It is also convenient of 
access from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. The 
height of the obelisk from the foundation is 555 feet. This 
makes it the highest work of human hands in the 
world. Its weight is over 80,000 tons; the base is 55 
feet square ; the walls are 15 feet thick ; the material is 
Maryland marble ; foundation Gneiss rock and Portland 
cement. The interior of the shaft is hollow, and is fur- 
nished with an elevator (not now running) and an iron 
staircase of 900 steps. The view from the windows at the 
top of this flight is extensive, both of the city and sur- 
rounding country. Tablets adorn the lower portion of 
the interior of the monument, and it is intended that sim- 
ilar contributions in marble and bronze to the memory of 
Washington from States, Territories, foreign nations, re- 
ligious societies, charitable organizations, and similar in- 
stitutions shall beautify the remaining space. The grounds 
at the base will also probably be elaborately improved, 
eventually, with tiling, pathways, etc. 

The monument has already cost more than ^1,187,000. 
Three hundred thousand dollars of this was contributed by 
the society which was incorporated to build the monument 
and the remainder by the United States Government. 

The project of building this memorial was actively be- 
gun in 1833 by citizens of the city of Washington, who asked 
the general public to contribute, and with ^87,000 in hand 
laid the corner-stone of the edifice July 4th, 1848. Work 
on the shaft ceased in 1855 and was not resumed till 1880. 
In 1876 Congress appointed a committee to complete the 



52 HTAN1)AK1> CiL'lDi; OF WASlllNirrON. 

work and made generous appropriations for this purpose ; 
but delay was caused by tlie necessary precaution of strength- 
ening the old foundations. The dedication of the com- 
pleted monument occurred on Saturday, February 21st, 
18S5, with appropriate ceremonies. {See List of lllustta- 
tiotis. ) 

WASHINGTON STATUE, M. 35. T. 51. 

At Washington Circle, 23d street W., at the intersection 
of Pennsylvania and New Hampshire avenues ; designed 
by Clark Mills ; voted by Congress in 1853 ; cost $50,000, 
and was cast from cannon. Washington is represented as 
at the battle of Princeton. {See List of Illustrations.) 

yN PsX\.P^\ik'D SEMINARY. M. 20. T. 41. 

The Seminary overlooks the city from Meridian Hill, a 
short distance from the northern terminus of the i4th-street 
horse-railroad. The institution was founded in 1865, by 
Baptists, to educate colored men for the ministry and for 
teaching. Tlie building was erected in 1874 by colored 
labor; cost $35,000, and will accomniodate two hundred 
students. 

WINDERS BUILDING M. 45- T. 47. 

Stands opposite the Navy Department, at the corner of 
F and 17th streets, and is occui)ied by the Chief Engi- 
neer of the Army, the Judge Advocate General of 
the Army, the Battle Record Room, and the Ord- 
nance Office. The Museum connected with the latter 
contains many flags, uniforms, i^rojectiles, and relics of 
the Civil War, and foreign arms. Visitors are admitted 
from 9 a. m. till 3 p. m.

THE SWEDISH HEALTH-INSTITUTE. 



From a modest introduction in this city, a few years ago, 
of this important method of restoring health, it has merited 
popularity to the extent of necessitating accommodation at 
903 16th street N. W., in well furnished and equipped par- 
lors on two different floors. The treatment is administered 
between 8 a. m. and 8 p. m., by Hartvig Nissen, the 
Proprietor and Director, with an efficient corps of as- 
sistants. He also treats patients at their homes, if desired. 

The method of this system of dealing with disorders to 
which mankind is subjected, is not generally known al- 
though of ancient origin — hence it is considered of mutual 
benefit to offer a short description of its process. It has 
existed in all ages because it is based on mechanical and 
anatomical principles, and produces salutary effects when 
other remedies are not applicable. 

The name of Swedish Health Institute is derived from 
what is known. as the Swedish Movement Cure, combined 
with Massage. As Linnaeus systematized botany, Ber- 
zelius chemistry, so did another Swedish professor, Pehr 
Henrik Ling, in 1813, establish an everlasting repution by 
effecting astonishing cures through manipulation of the 
human body without employment of medicine. 

He organized a Central Institute, now supported by the 
Swedish Government in Stockholm, from which graduates 
have established others in almost every country in the 
civilized world. 

The system of the Swedish Movement Cure deals mainly 
with the circulation of the blood— a part of physiology 
not much known until about the middle of the seven- 
teenth century. 

Visitors are always welcome to inspect the institute and 
examine the mode of treatment.

WHITE HOUSE— Front View. 

One of the largest and perhaps the most complete 
establishment of its kind in this city is the Dry Goods, 
Millinery, and Notions Stores of Mr. Charles Baum, 
located on Seventh, Eighth, and D streets northwest. 
This gentleman's career as a merchant of Washington has 
been most eventful as well as exceptionally successful. He 
came here at the close of the civil war, aspiring to establish 
a first-class business, though then possessing literally but 
one penny of capital. Pluck, perseverance, and business 
capacity did the rest. From a small rented room Mr. 
Baum's business has steadily increased until it now occupies 
the commodious stores which are so well known to and 
appreciated by the local public. A specialty of his has 
been to procure his stock for the various seasons with the 
energy displayed by the leading merchants of the East, 
and to conduct the sales at the lowest rates. The ladies 
appreciate how complete and how well furnished with the 
latest novelties is the millinery and notion department of 
this enterprising house.

men the large cafe at Chamberlain's affords a delightful 
place for the interchange of the latest social news and

The beautiful architecture of Washington is a noticeable 
feature of the city. More important to owners and inmates, 
however, than exterior effect, is thoroughness in construc- 
tion and honesty and skill in interior workmanship. A 
firm which have rapidly established a reputation for the 
best class of work, at reasonable rates, are Messrs. Langley 
& Gettinger, the Builders and Carpenters, whose office is 
at No. 310 12th Street N. W. In busy times they employ 
a large corps of workmen. The firm accepts contracts for 
erecting and completing all classes of buildings, ready for 
occupancy. A large jobbing and repairing business is also 
carried on, under the personal supervision of the proprietors. 
The best proofs of their competence and popularity are the 
buildings which have recently been built by these men, in 
cooperation with the various leading architects of this city.

the city for their integrity in business and the superior 
character of their work. Always ready to meet any de-

The proposed Rock Creek Park extends along a pic- 
turesque valley, through which a stream flows towards 
the Potomac. Diversified by bold hills, and well wooded, 
this beautiful tract of land may very easily be trans- 
formed into one of the • most lovely parks imaginable. 
Civil Engineers have made calculations that this can be done 
at a reasonable outlay. Nothing would be more accepta- 
ble to the citizens of Washington than to see this magnifi- 
cent country utilized, as the Park would be so near the 
city as to afford health and recreation to thousands during 
all seasons of the year.

WIIiliARDS HOTEIi. 



Of Washington hotels, Willards presents, perhaps, the 
most historic interest. It stands at the head of Pennsyl- 
vania avenue. Years ago it was the City Hall. It fell 
into the hands of the Willard Bros, at the outbreak of the 
civil war. The name Willards has, in fact, became 
famous with travellers throughout the Union. With 
all classes and degrees of American officials, civil and mili- 
tary, it has long been a favorite resort. Politicians have 
made it their headquarters. It has several times been the 
starting point of Presidents-elect on their drive to the in- 
auguration. Here, also, many cabinet and foreign minis- 
ters have been chosen and military and State papers have 
been drawn. 

The recent improvements of the premises have been 
liberal and intelligently made. In particular some of the 
decorations and furnishing of the suites of spacious rooms 
on the lower floors are very superior. 

The excellence of the cuisine has long been appreciated 
by the community. Fortunately for the public the prices 
are still reasonable. The present proprietor is Mr. O. G. 
Staples, a gentleman who has become exceedingly popular 
with all with whom he has come in contact, by reason of 
his executive ability, friendliness, and invariable courtesy.

PACIFIC BUIIiDING. 

This handsome building was built in 1885 by Messrs. 
A. T. Britton and H. J. Gray, prominent attorneys, en- 
gaged in practice in Washington under the firm name 
of Britton & Gray for over twenty years past, whose 
business has largely been in connection with matters on 
the Pacific Coast and in the West. The building is of five 
stories, and contains sixty-five rooms, intended for office 
purposes. It is furnished with passenger-elevator, steam- 
heating, deposit-vaults, speaking-tubes, and all modern 
conveniences. . Its proximity to the Government Depart- 
ments render it a very desirable location. The firm, which 
includes, besides the gentlemen named above, Mr. A. B. 
Browne, occupies a commodious suite of appartments, 
from No. 51 to 57, inclusive, in the Pacific Building.

HOUSES. 



C. C. "WILLARD, Proprietor. 



The Ebbitt House bears the name of a New York gentle- 
man. In 1865 it was purchased by the present proprietor, 
C. C. Willard, Esq., who had been previously identified 
with successful management of the famous Hygiea Hotel, 
at Fortress Monroe. 

Mr. Willard at once began the reconstruction and re- 
furnishing of his new property with characteristic energy. 
The ground plans were enlarged and the building carried 
up to seven stories in height. Neither pains nor expense 
were spared to make the structure perfectly adapted to the 
purpose for which it was intended. No hotels in Washing- 
ton (and few in the world) are now better equipped than is 
the Ebbitt with the essentials for the comfort and safety of 
guests. A firm spiral stair-case on the outside of the build- 
ing — the only one of its kind in the city of Washington — 
renders the establishment practically fire-proof. 

Many illustrations might be given to the liberality and 
executive ability which Mr. Willard bestows, constantly, 
to maintain the high reputation of his house. His only 
diversion seems to be to buy and improve property in the 
neighborhood of the Ebbitt. 

The hotel is pleasantly located, on F Street, one block 
from the United States Treasury. It can accommodate 
over five hundred guests. The dining-room is attractive 
and the table generous. While by all classes of the best 
visitors and residents, this elegant hotel has been long and 
increasingly patronized, with army and navy people and in 
diplomatic circles, it has always been especially popular.

The architecture of Washington has become famous for 
attractiveness, diversity, and originality of design. It is a 
common remark of visitors that in no city in the United. 
States is there such a large number of beautiful residences. 

Of the architects who have beautified the Capitol with 
the most artistic and commodious dwellings, none have 
achieved a more enviable reputation for thorough workman- 
ship and symmetry of design than Mr. Harvey L. Page, 
lately of the firm of Gray & Page, a sample of whose art — 
a perfect gem in its way — may be seen above, Mr. Page is 
located in a very pretty and convenient suite of rooms, at 
1515 H Street N, W., where visitors will always be welcon^e 
and certain to receive every courtesy, whether intending to 
engage Mr. Page's professional services, or desiring merely 
to examine his collection of plans and drawings. •

F. K. WARD, 

ALDERNEY DAIRIES DEPOT, 

The Largest City Dairy in the World, 

929-931 D Street Northwest, 

WASHINGTON, D. C. 



AVashington is excellently supplied with milk and butter 
through several large Alderney Dairies, managed by Mr. 
Frank K. Ward. The farms are situated in Maryland and 
Virginia and are conducted in accordance with the most 
approved principles of scientific farming, to secure richness 
and purity in the dairy products. Public inspection of the 
thorough and successful system on which the farms are 
managed is at all times invited, and will repay any one 
with a taste for the charms of farm life. 

At present more than fifty farms contribute their daily 
quota of milk, butter, and cream to Mr. Ward's immense 
establishments ; and though the quantity is so great, the . 
quality is never allowed to deteriorate. Mr. Ward has a 
standing offer of a liberal reward for any persons detecting 
milk in his cans which is in the slightest degree impure. In 
these days of inferior cattle, fed with refuse food, this fact 
is especially worthy of commendation. 

F. K. Ward is, undoubtedly, the most enterprising gen- 
tlemen in the local Dairy business. His present establish- 
ment is the ''beau ideal" of his hopes and resolutions. 
Sketches of him have so frequently been published, that it 
is not worth while to reprint one here. Without advertise- 
ment, F. K. Ward's name will always be among the leading 
business men of Washington,

One of the most enterprising business men of this city

establishment is located at 347-351 M street southwest, 
near the Arsenal grounds, which now affords a fine park 
and promenade for the residents of South Washington. 

Mr. Bridwell commenced in business at his present lo- 
cation over thirty-five years ago on a small scale, and by 
industry has extended his premises to cover more than half 
of the square on which his factory is situated. His trade

adjoining States, and is constantly increasing. A number 
of wagons are employed in the delivery of goods, and em- 
ployment is given to fifteen or twenty able assistants. 
Tonic Beer, Soda Waters, Mineral Waters, &c., of various 
flavors, and all kinds of light summer drinks are manu-

Claims before Congress and the Departments. 

The Real Estate department includes the charge of 
estates, the sale, rental, and care of property ; the safe 
investment of funds in District Real Estate, and investment 
for profit. 

The rapid enhancement in the value of real estate in and 
about Washington has enabled many persons to acquire 
fortunes within a few years ; but the rate of increase of the 
past is merely "surface indication" of the inevitable 
future. Real estate in the District of Columbia will, doubt- 
less, during this decade, realize prices far beyond the 
present investor's highest priced dream. 

District of Columbia Real Estate now is the recognized 
investment for profit in the United States. 

This department now has for investment a large and 
attractive selection of City and District property, consist- 
ing of well situated ground for building in large or small 
blocks ; full modern improved high and medium priced 
residences, centrally located business, and other properties, 
to which the attention of buyers and investors is particu- 
larly invited. 

Loans made at 5 and 6 per cent, on good unincumbered 
property in the City and District. Charges moderate ;
